Inspired by an appreciation for interesting vignette's and views found in the Australian landscape, this painting features an intimate beach cove with gum trees lining the headland beyond. Inspired by locations such as Tasmania and the south coastline of Western Australia, it features hints of burnt orange, olive greens and rich blues. It would be perfect to include in a gallery hang or on it's own.

Hello!

My name is Emily and I am an artist based in inner-city Brisbane, where I live with my husband, two young daughters and our 12 year old rescue dog. I can always be found tinkering away in my home studio, which is my first 'proper' studio space since I made the change from working in architecture, to starting full time painting in 2019. My studio has beautiful views out to the hills of the inner west, and I love the little oasis that the space offers for me to create in.

I use acrylics and oils (sometimes a mix of both!) to paint floral scenes, still life arrangements and landscapes. Broadly, my work aims to capture and celebrate the ‘aliveness’ of a moment in time: to encourage both myself as the artist, and you as the viewer, to be completely grounded in the present. I frequently draw back on my design skills by stitching together photos, sketches and memories in my mind to design an arrangement.

Thank you for visiting my little art world!
